The United States plans to build a new detention camp at Bagram military base in Afghanistan, a Defence Department spokesman has said. A Pentagon spokesman confirmed the move on Saturday, detailing that a planned 40 acre complex at the Bagram military base will soon be built. Lieutenant Colonel Mark Wright said: “I can confirm there are indeed plans to build a new detention facility at Bagram airfield.” The new facility is said to hold about 1,100 detainees and cost about $60million.
